Letter: Letters: Spending spree

Published 7 August 1993

From DONALD SIMPSON

I don’t know exactly what Tam Dalyell’s brief is from New Scientist, but his
rant about THORP (Forum, 10 July) does neither of you much credit.

What’s particularly worrying is to see that we have an MP who believes that
having already spent a lot of money on a project counts as a reason for
continuing with it. No wonder central government funds are so often badly
spent.
